So far we’ve not shared any little snippets on how to make your look your own, in a totally RMW DIY fashion… (pardon the pun) …that is until this week!

I am totally in awe of this little DIY project, it’s super easy, potentially super colourful (which I LOVE) and super personalised to your style!

Plus it’s a fab cost saving exercise. Cheap shoes + not great design = make them fabulous with this little DIY.

Todays project was found over on Green Wedding Shoes.

For the full how to on these pretty wedding shoes head on over and check out the full post on Green Wedding Shoes.

What I love about this is it could work for absolutely any wedding. You could use a ditsy floral fabric for a country theme, jazz up some boring bridal shoes with a colourful scrap of fabric to match your scheme, or how about making the bridesmaids shoes just like this but with different shades of pinks/blues/greens, whatever takes your fancy!

Ultra romantic just in white, I think I might be trying this next time I have a difficult outfit to match up!

When we first started DIY Devotee I asked for you guys to send your own wants and needs for inspiration and it would appear the Winter brides are feeling a little bit neglected. Now that is the last thing we want, and although we’re trying to desperately cling on to this sorry excuse for summer we’re having, I’m already longing for a little chill in the air, winter scarves, fresh frosty morning smells and morning mist hailing clear Autumn days.

So when I spotted this cute as a button DIY project over on Blue Light Bride I was mentally jumping right on to December and planning my Christmas table already! It has to be said however, if you’ve a little imagination this would make a stunning cake topper for any season and I have a MASSIVE thing for birds – if that’s a theme idea that floats your boat!

If you’re an Autumn bride how about making this with a cranberry garland to incorporate the seasonal berry look and tinting the base a warm champagne colour? Or for a Spring/Summer look maybe little pink or yellow love birds would finish off your cake?

For the full DIY post head on over to Blue Light Bride!

Fancy a little love bird winging it’s way to your wedding?

PS. Any more requests Ladies?

Now, I’m a bit of a geek sometimes and one of the ways my ‘geek behaviour’ exerts itself is by making me want to tie things together week by week on the blog. I like a loose theme and I get my knickers in a right twist if I can’t manage it, unless that is I just want to do something different!

So this week, following Beauty and the Beach, I was inspired by the sea, and beach/seaside styled weddings. This might just be what those of you considering a bit of beach inspiration need to get your creative juices flowing… and I love it! I might even have an inspiration board or two up my sleeve on that very subject.

Message in a Bottle

My Fan-love for Amy Moss from Eat Drink Chic knows no bounds and this project is another by Amy, but for OnceWed this time.

And do you get the link? Make tiny little bottles with cute labels, and ask your guests to write a message in a bottle for you and your new husband instead of writing in a traditional guestbook. It makes a cute talking point and adds to your general decor. Plus it’s not expensive. You can pick up small jars cheaply at The Jam Jar Shop

Thinking outside of the box

Of course, you needn’t use this for a beachside wedding, you might just love the idea and want to use the pink and girly hearts provided as part of the templates, or on the other hand, it might not be beachy enough for you…

How about adding some sand to the bottom of each bottle to add a castaway feel? Change the colour of the twine to ribbon matching your colours, or extrapolate the idea by making your own tags and notes to place inside on appropriate paper and using a beach themed stamp in appropriate colours to embellish them both.

The full post contains more ideas on how to make this yours and suggests using them as messages to your guests. Head on over to Once Wed to check out the full DIY how-to.

Can you think of a way you would use this or style it to fit your day?

And are you having a beachy/seaside wedding and struggling to make it chic and unique? Send us your dilemmas and we’ll try to help out!
